Best Achievment 2010 Award

In 2010, the European Club Association introduced the concept of ECA Internal Awards. Their goal is to reward clubs’ excellent achievements, congratulate them and motivate their best performances, support the clubs’ managing and strengthen the relationships among ECA’s members.

The prize that was awarded to Dragão Stadium was a result of the high demand for sustainability that guided the project, namely for its:

• Community-awareness raising, through a series of advertising campaigns;
• Reduction of energy consumption;
• Increase of recycling rates and cutting down produced waste.

According to ECA, the project’s success can be evaluated by the following figures/facts, between 2006/07 and 2008/09:

• 10% energy consumption reduction;
• 34% increase in separating waste;
• – 23% reduction on overall waste.
